Can I displace” a lawer's office“ to”a lawer office“ ?Thanks. I am studying New Concept English2 . In lesson 14,there's a sentence'Tony worked in a lawyer's office.'""He worked in a lawyer's office" is correct and you are talking about an office possesed/owned by a lawyer, making the office his/hers. " Is the comment above right?If I want to describe that an office where some lawyers work in.Should I also use ‘a lawyer's office'?

Well, a lawyer's office is usually in a law firm, if that's what you need.

You cannot replace or sustitute "a lawyer's office" with "a lawyer office". Other similar expressions showing the possesive form of the office belonging to a professional includes: a dentist's office / a doctor's office / an engineer's office. You can also say " a law firm's office".
